Groucho and Clover

I'm in clover! Glass clovers to be exact. I don't know the original purpose. I wish I knew. I'm going to use them for snack trays. My husband's friends play poker, maybe I can slip them into the man cave decor.

The Groucho books are all for me though. I can't wait to read what he thought about his own times. Celebrity autobiographies are among my favorite books. We already think that we know them, I want to know what we missed.

Mickey Rooney's autobiography is one of the best. Katherine Hepburn and George Burns also write some great things. My most recent favorite was Micheal J. Fox's Lucky Man. He is some kind of amazing.

The clovers you found are adorable. They are for holding peanuts or mints for card players when seated at card tables. I've seen them in all the shapes, hearts, diamonds and spades. Card clubs and couples getting together to play cards at home were huge after WWII.
